[issue16237] bdist_rpm SPEC files created with distutils may be distro specific

[Nick Coghlan]

New submission from Nick Coghlan:

In resolving 14443 we effectively embedded the vendor macros in the SPEC file 
generated by bdist_rpm on older versions of RHEL (and derivatives).

While I think that's a necessary evil (in order to create Python 3 RPMs that 
actually work properly at all on those platforms), we should note the distro 
limitation somewhere in the documentation: even if the RPM would otherwise work 
properly on Fedora *and* RHEL (and perhaps even openSUSE), the embedded copy of 
the vendor post install macros may misfire.
